After completing his sentence and returning to his hometown, Cu Van Binh in Tan Phong town, Quang Xuong district, Thanh Hoa province tried to find himself a stable job. He took his application to many places, but after reading it, they returned it to him, making him sad and depressed.

There was a time when Mr. Binh wanted to give up everything and leave everything to the fate of life, but then luck knocked on his door when he was bailed out by the police and introduced to work at JMJ Apparel Company Limited right in Tan Phong town, Quang Xuong district.

People with past mistakes in Thanh Hoa are always given the opportunity to reform and reintegrate into the community.

The job is manual labor, no degree required, workers are trained directly, there is someone to guide them so in just a short time, Mr. Binh can do the job proficiently. More importantly, when working here, Mr. Binh is guaranteed all the benefits and salary like other normal workers.

Mr. Binh shared: "When I came to work here, I always received attention and encouragement from the company's leaders and colleagues. Everyone was treated equally, no one was discriminated against or discriminated against. I work here with a salary of about 7 - 8 million/month, suitable for the standard of living in this area. In addition, I was also supported with a motorbike to go to work. I feel lucky to find a job like this."

Not only Mr. Binh, at JMJ Apparel Company Limited, there are currently 6 workers who have completed their sentences and returned to their hometowns. Ms. Cao Thi Diep - Director of JMJ Apparel Company Limited, Quang Xuong District, said: "Here, orders are almost always full, so workers often have to work overtime, so there will be no time to interact or think about bad things anymore. In addition, the company's leaders and I often stay close to encourage and support workers and their families to have more income, stabilize their lives, and stay away from the path of crime."

With the motto "Taking management,education , and helping people who have made mistakes in the community as the core work, we must know how to arouse the good qualities in each person who has made mistakes to encourage and help them to reintegrate into the community and stay away from past mistakes", in recent years, the police force has promoted its core role, proactively coordinated with the Party Committee and the government of Hoang Hoa district to deploy the model of "Enterprises with community reintegration work" to mobilize the maximum cooperation of all levels, sectors and the whole population, especially the team of businesses and entrepreneurs participating in community reintegration work. Thereby, it has created the best conditions to support and help those who have completed their prison sentences to overcome their inferiority complex, reintegrate into the community, find stable jobs, and become useful citizens for their families and society.

According to Thanh Hoa Provincial Police, Hoang Hoa District Business Association is currently one of the addresses where many people with past mistakes come to get support and help in finding legitimate jobs, suitable to their abilities and circumstances. According to statistics, currently in Hoang Hoa District, there are 256 people in the community reintegration category, of which 158 have jobs and temporarily stabilized their lives.

In particular, since August 2023, after the Prime Minister signed and issued Decision 22 on credit for people who have completed their sentences, Hoang Hoa district has focused on implementing it. Up to now, the police force and the Social Policy Bank of Hoang Hoa district have reviewed and organized the implementation of a loan program for 33 cases of people who have completed their prison sentences and returned to their localities with a total disbursement of nearly 3 billion VND. From this source of capital, many people with a bad past have had the opportunity to return to learn a trade, invest in production, business, find jobs, and have a stable income, many of whom have risen to become households with a good economic income.

Connecting people who have completed their prison sentences with businesses that need to recruit workers is one of the important solutions that the Thanh Hoa Police force has been implementing to maximize the effectiveness of the role and responsibility of the business community in reintegrating into the community. With the cooperation of this group, in the period of 2023 - 2024 alone, in Thanh Hoa province, more than 200 people who have completed their prison sentences have been consulted, introduced to jobs and received labor, and stabilized their lives by agencies, departments, branches and businesses.
